She's stubborn and reckless and determined to expose the truth.

He’s duty-bound to protect her even if he hates her.

Secret Service Agent Peter Mercer just wanted a promotion. Instead he got investigative journalist Carrie Davenport. His hatred of journalists runs deep, but she's going to get herself killed. So he'll do what he must to keep her safe and his conscience clear.

Carrie Davenport didn't look for trouble but it always found her. This time it came in the form of a human trafficking ring involving D.C.'s most powerful. And she could expose it all and turn it into the biggest story she’s ever written. Or get herself killed. And Peter Mercer seems hellbent on preventing her from doing either.

When he shows up at Club Exposure, she thinks he's following her again. Turns out they have more in common than either realizes.
